Program of Demonstration Work
for Jack County.
In consideration of the fact that
O. H. Robbins, County Agent of
Jack County has requested assist-
ance in establishing definite dem-
onstration along special lines, the
following specialists have been as-
signed for the definite work set
forth opposite their names, with
the understanding that
First: The County Agent will
endeavor (a) to meet the special-
ist on his arrival at the most con-
venient railroad station in the
county, and if practicable furnish
conveyance to the specialist to and
from the farm or farms where the
demonstrations are; (b) to assist
the specialist in selecting the farm
and the farmers where the work is
to be done; (c) to diligently ad-
vertise the time and place of the
meeting, and secure the attend-
ance of as large a number of
neighboring farmers and others as
possible; (d) to assist the special-
ist in securing reports of the work
done and the results of each dem-
onstration; (e) to make an effort
to acquire the methods and gener-
al principles presented to the end
that these instructions may be giv-
en without the assistance of the
specialist.
Second: The specialist will en-
deavor (a) to notify the County
Agent as far in advance as practi-
cable of the date and the hour of
his arrival in the county and of
the material needed, if any, for
the work;(b) to go with the Coun-
ty Agent and assist in the selec-
tion of the farms and the farmers
to carry on the demonstrations ;
(c) to lecture at the demonstra-
tion on farms and other places of
meetings and to teach farmers,
County Agents and as many oth-
ers as possible not only the prac-
tice, but the general principles un-
derlying the demonstrations; (d)
to make final report on the #ork
done.

his section and the seasonal and
cultural conditions of his locality,
and by noting the seasonal de-
mand for labor, and by keeping
sufficient accounts to show the rel-
ative profitableness of his various
enterprises he will eventually be
able to plan combinations for max-
imutu profits.
The1 idea that hard work will
bring success is not necessarily
true, especially in farming. The
successful farmer is the farmer
who properly directs his efforts.
Brain and muscle must walk hand
in hand, and like the Siamese
twins, they should never be sepa-
rated.
It is a generally, admitted fact
that some farmers are better man-
agers than others. It is true that
misfortunes often overtake many
well planned undertakings, yet
the fact remains that the success-
ful farmer as a class is successful
because he plans his farm business
in accordance with the few funda-
mental principles whieh underlie
the successful management of a
farm.
Compare the methods of the suc-
cessful fanner *and the unsuccess-
ful farmer in any community and
the difference will spell farm man-
agement or proper diversification.
We will have only a short crush
id if you have cotton seed you ex-
to exchange for cotton seed cake
or hulls, please deliver them as
soon aa possible.
